 CLAIM: : Walang ginawa si Noynoy habang nakaupo sa senado, at hindi sapat ang kanyang mga hinain para sa serbisyong pampubliko.
 TRUTH: Senator Aquino’s legislative record is filled with laws that push for transparency, accountability, curbing corruption and leveling the playing field so that special relationships do not take precedence over quality public service. A good lawmaker must not be judged solely on the number of laws penned, but the quality of these laws in the interest of the public good. Congress is a democratic institution that is also meant to guard against government excesses. Aquino believes we already have many good laws, and what is needed is proper enforcement.

Senator Aquino’s advocacies
The 14 bills that Senator Aquino has authored during his three years in the Senate, as well as those in his three terms at the House of Representatives reflect his advocacies: reducing poverty and raising the standard of living, safeguarding workers’ rights and benefits, protecting human rights, curbing corruption, improving management of government funding, and strengthening democracy
Dr. Wilfrido Villacorta, professor emeritus at De La Salle University and member of the Constitutional Commission that drafted the 1987 Constitution, has analyzed Senator Aquino’s legislative record and gave this conclusion:

“[Senator Aquino] believes that a true working democracy provides not only political freedoms but a better life for all Filipinos. A working democracy must be able to provide jobs, education, social services and equitable economic prosperity for everyone, not just the privileged few.
“A man of strong convictions, [Aquino] lived up to his constitutional responsibility as an opposition senator to fiscalize the executive branch of government. Noynoy thoroughly examined the General Appropriations Act for 2009 [and every year without fail since his first term as Congressman] and proposed key amendments to the 2009 GAA that seek to tighten congressional oversight on the executive’s use of public funds.” (Read Villacorta’s full analysis)
